Do you have a passion for understanding how each line of code affects all the others? In the Core Operating Systems group ensuring the OS is inseparable from each device’s identity as a whole. That’s because this group is committed to building fully integrated operating systems that combine hardware, software, and apps into a single Apple experience. Your dedication to cross-disciplinary collaboration will help develop groundbreaking technologies, such as iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS. By crafting these distinct, multidisciplinary user experiences, you’ll continue to uphold and advance the excellence people expect from Apple devices.

The Embedded Runtimes team in Core OS is looking for an outstanding quality engineer to join a team responsible for ensuring the quality of key firmware and software technologies across all of Apple’s product lines. The ideal candidate is proficient with Python 3, familiar with C and C++, familiar with software development processes, system-level software in particular, and has shown a history of tight-knit collaboration with their software team.

Your main focus will be designing test plans, developing tests and supporting diagnostics, creating automating test flows, and supporting our validation and triaging processes across our development lifecycle. We work with systems in all phases of development, from pre-silicon simulation, to sample bring-up, to already-shipping systems. As such, you’ll be developing tests that will run across simulation, FPGA, new products, and existing products. You’ll be working as a peer to the software team that maintains existing and develops new Firmware features across Apple’s line of products.

As a Quality Engineer, your responsibilities include designing test plans, developing test suites in Python, creating automated test flows and pre-submission validation, triaging failures and following up with responsible team(s) for fixes. Additionally, you will work closely with other quality engineers in adjacent teams and work to maintain a fleet of lab machines and associated CI automation.
